What confused me, (and perhaps others), was the supposition that equally maxed-out hardware would be “the sweet spot”.  (Which is great if you’re using your system to heat your house. )

To me, as in “AFAIK” or “IMHO”, it doesn’t make sense to have the entire system running at “red-line” constantly.

Now, I will be the first to admit that I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, so I was, (and still am), curious how continuously running your system maxed-out can be “sweet”.  Didn’t the crypto-miners already try that?   Or am I missing something?

To each his own. If you are more comfortable offering up performance by limiting frame rate that is fine. With a good quality system with good cooling, I am OK with using the hardware hard. With components we are using you are highly unlikely to kill anything in the short term by running it hard. Recognise that I am using MSFS for a handful of hours per week, crypto miners run their equipment at 100% 24/7 for months on end. The fact that they can do that makes my use case trivial.

What is “LOD” and how do you measure it?

My apologies for not responding earlier. LOD is Level of Detail.

• My abbreviation TLOD is for Terrain Level of Detail
• My abbreviation OLOD is for Object level

Essentially it sets how much detail you can see at what distance. You set it in the Options - General options screen in the main menu. TLOD can be adjusted from 0 to 400, OLOD from 0 to 200. In both cases, the higher the number, the better the level of detail you can see further. You can go higher on these numbers in config files but I believe that, for most of us, this available range in the menu is totally adequate.
